Wind energy
Ahlstrom has been one of the main glassfibre reinforcement suppliers to Europe’s biggest wind energy manufacturers since the 1970's. Thanks to our deep knowledge of glassfibre and its behavior in wind energy applications, we have been able to develop solutions with superior properties with our customers.
This sector places exceptional demands on composite materials, especially as tip speeds can reach hundreds of kilometers per hour. The precision manufacturing processes needed to achieve the required reliability and durability, with cost-effective production, would be unsuccessful without modern glassfibre reinforcement technology.
